famidesu Posted November 6, 2014 Report Share Posted November 6, 2014 Hello everyone. Checking in if someone knows of a solid dealer who always has replacement parts in stock or can get them by request? I'm looking for the rear housing for a G17 as well as the front chassis / slide rails. I'm not sure if it's appropriate, if not I will remove this request or a mod can do it; if any member has these parts for sale, let me know? Cheers. Link to post Share on other sites
GlockworkOrange Posted November 6, 2014 Report Share Posted November 6, 2014 I have started to use Yahoo Auctions Japan. Sellers like 'Shopbebox' sell loads of original handgun parts (I assume he buys guns just to break them down for parts). I have got lots of Tanaka revolver parts through the auctions there - I can't think of anywhere else that you can get so many parts that are otherwise unobtainable. The only catch is that most sellers will only post to Japan. Luckily, due to high demand from the rest of the world for Japanese exclusives, there are lots of companies that run a proxy shopping service for overseas buyers. I am currently using Goody Japan who are sending me a Tanaka trigger. It's quite an easy process. I put down a deposit to cover the item price, they then won the auction, and now are sending the part to me. Total cost was £18 and that's all their feels included, so for a rare part it can be well worth it. Link to post Share on other sites

famidesu Posted November 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2014 Thanks for the suggestions. I should have mentioned what places I already check or have been checking for the past months. Wgc and tmc are some of the few. Link to post Share on other sites
Richard Y Posted December 2, 2014 Report Share Posted December 2, 2014 I have finished listing the g17 parts, quickest way to find the parts is using this http://eagle6.co.uk/shop/info-interactive-gbb-g17 Link to post Share on other sites
Im going space Posted December 2, 2014 Report Share Posted December 2, 2014 impulse101, i do think that theyve started up the parts ordering again Link to post Share on other sites
Richard Y Posted December 2, 2014 Report Share Posted December 2, 2014 The problem with factory orders is they take 3 months once the orders placed. So places which do it as a service as they are low profit hate doing it, especially Japan suppliers, they don't get how bloody vital it is to have regular tm parts on hand and available all the time. I'm working my way through all the tm guns and painstakingly listing each and every part with reference photos regardless of how popular it is, and rather than just relying on receiving a email request for a single random part and starting the 3 month waiting process over and over and over again.

Revengeful_Lobster Posted February 28, 2015 Report Share Posted February 28, 2015 Since I live in Tokyo (for the moment) I've been thinking of ways to get TM parts overseas. I have no idea what shipping costs are going to be like though. Link to post Share on other sites
Im going space Posted February 28, 2015 Report Share Posted February 28, 2015 People would most definitely pay it Link to post Share on other sites
Revengeful_Lobster Posted February 28, 2015 Report Share Posted February 28, 2015 I gotta figure out how the ordering system works first. They make you do it the old-fashioned way with a form, and you have to calculate the total and tax on your own. The annoying thing is that they fail to mention whether tax in Japan is rounded up or down and what to do for shipping on multiple items. Link to post Share on other sites
airsoftmatthias Posted March 3, 2015 Report Share Posted March 3, 2015 I'm surprised Impulse101 hasn't been mentioned. Link to post Share on other sites
Im going space Posted March 3, 2015 Report Share Posted March 3, 2015 Impulse weren't doing parts last I checked. Not since the name change Link to post Share on other sites
famidesu Posted March 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2015 Really frustrating with the spare parts... why isn't there aftermarket parts to replace every rear grip part and chassis on a g17 for an example? They are so popular it's annoying. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to post Share on other sites
Im going space Posted March 13, 2015 Report Share Posted March 13, 2015 Oh by the way impulse101 have opened parts orders. Go wild! Link to post Share on other sites
famidesu Posted March 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2015 If impulse101 has started to take orders...I wonder if contacting through facebook works. I'm going to give it a shot. Link to post Share on other sites
Richard Y Posted March 16, 2015 Report Share Posted March 16, 2015 They closed orders last i heard and issued refunds due to tm continually not supplying parts. i imagine the whole pre order thing to be a nightmare to be honest, logistically. Link to post Share on other sites
Im going space Posted March 16, 2015 Report Share Posted March 16, 2015 They were closed during the pulse to impulse transition Link to post Share on other sites
famidesu Posted March 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2015 Well...that's a huge bummer. Any clues when you might have new stuff coming in Richard? Link to post Share on other sites
